Calling all "Seamstresses"

[Gamom3]

Dd has picked out a pattern that has those gloves that cover part of the hand and go over the thumb and up the arm..sorry I don't know what to call them.

The pattern uses fleece, but she wants to wear them for the spring and summer. What material would we need to use?

[Mrs. H.]

Gauntlets: dress gloves extending past the wrist. Also called evening gloves.

For spring and summer, you could choose a stretchy cotton, satin, or even tulle, depending on how dressy they would be.

She doesn't want them this long...they look like what the little girl wore in the movie Bridge to Terabithia. We want to sew these, not knit.

You just need a lightweight knit fabric.
